The document discusses the social isolation that can result from victimization. Victims may withdraw from life and community due to fear, distrust, and dysfunction. Data from a UN crime survey shows that those victimized are less likely to trust police and avoid risky areas, and feel less community support. Being victimized can lead to health issues and social problems. Victimization increases social isolation both for individuals and broader communities by reducing mobility and involvement in social activities. Reducing social isolation through community engagement and assistance for victims can help reduce crime.
